The movie doesn't have a very ups and downs plot, but the usual small details remind people a lot, and they also have the power to warm people's hearts.
The story begins with a twelve-year-old girl who wants to commit suicide and is carrying out a suicide plan. The way the world might accept a twelve-year-old girl is to go to school happily and practice a favorite musical instrument, not to take a camera around taking pictures of strange shapes and expressing astonishing opinions. She feels lonely when she is out of tune with the world, and she thinks of death as a way to escape. Thinking of myself when I was a child, watching TV dramas, and all kinds of bloody death scenes, I don't actually understand what death is like and what death means. I remember that when I was a child, I was like Baloma, imitating how my body fell unconscious when I died. I even laughed with my sister out of curiosity. I tried hanging the rope on the door and tying it in a loop, and then put my head in to experience the feeling of being hanged. Thinking about it now is naive and ridiculous. Death is never something that can be prepared and planned. Death only happens at the moment when life ends, sometimes it comes suddenly, like Hani standing on the road to persuade another lunatic, at this time, the passing truck brings death, unprepared, and it is not even too late to curse: putain; sometimes death seems to have waited for a long time, like facing a patient who is unable to treat, it seems that he is ready to accept death, but when the moment of death really happens, there is no way to rehearse the kind of heartache that will never be seen again. At this time, Paloma finally realized that she was never ready to die, and only then did she know that death is to never see the person she loves and the person who loves herself.
The death in this movie is reminiscent of the accident in the finale of One Day. I just watched "A Thousand Splendid Suns" before watching the movie, and I remember Mariam's calm death. The movie says: What matters is not death, but what you do when you die. Movies are sometimes such a funny art form. We are brought in by the plot, as if we are experiencing the life of the protagonist. When you are full of tenderness, I will arrange a parting for you, and then tell you that sometimes there are so many regrets in life, it seems that you can To be touched by the people watching, you have to work hard not to let your life regret. But when I was watching the movie, I didn't want such an accident at all, I didn't want my life to be arranged like this just to be a better didactic story. So I hate that others use movies to teach me, yes, there are so many regrets in life, and sometimes regrets are more beautiful. Regret may be a profound or inspiring story for others, but it is nothing but regret for those who experience it. When I am ready to love, I just want to hold my lover’s hand generously and take a walk in the sun; I am ready to discuss the problems with my husband, so I just want to have a meal with him and talk about myself The horns of the horns and then smiled; I have loved and been loved, so let me live tenderly, let me love the world more, and feel more moved.
But it is undeniable that sometimes death really is like a sudden downpour. Often wondered what I wish I was in when I died. I also hope that I am loved by others and love others with all my heart. This is also the state I want to live in. But what is love? What is the best way to live?
Everyone in the movie is alive, and everyone lives as they should according to the established paradigm. Paloma's father works every day and maintains a decent image of a rich man. Her mother manages the house and organizes friends to come to the house for gatherings from time to time. They repeatedly talk about the same topic: the number of words a person speaks in his life is fixed, so sometimes he has to Try not to speak. She was also a little sarcastic when she was chattering at the moment. Honey, a concierge, should be a fat woman who watches TV every day, snores in sleep, and speaks rudely. Everyone seems to be imprisoned in a form, seen by others, but never seen by others. So everyone feels lonely. Facing the loneliness that was incompatible with the outside world, Honey was thinking of hiding. She hid her book-loving self behind the door in the room that was always closed.
"You've found a good hiding place," Paloma said of the Honey she saw. I laughed out loud when I heard this sentence while watching a movie, what a lovely adjective to hide. It seems to be describing me too. I think it may also be describing everyone who feels lonely. We always want to find a hiding place where we can be quiet. We are always unable to express ourselves completely and comfortably in front of others. Baroma thought of death, Honey chose to hide it on purpose. Sometimes I ask myself, where is the real me hiding? When will it be discovered? When is the right time to come out and breathe?
Luckily they met Mr. Ozu at the same time, like a buffer and a dialogue bridge between two naked souls. Because they're all shy, imagine them having a straightforward conversation and saying, "Oh, I see, that's how you are. I know where you are hiding. That would be a little embarrassing. And Mr. Ozu is trying to gradually reveal their hidden selves in the dark, walking in the sun.
How to seduce? The method Mr. Ozu uses is to eat. It is also interesting to say. The "Unbearable Lightness of Life" I watched a few days ago said that the soul is hidden in the stomach. I also remembered the dialogue in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold":
"Lion, I seem to be in love with you, this is my first love, you know?"
"How do you know it's love if you've never been in love?"
"I feel it now."
"where?"
"My stomach, it's warm now. It used to have a knot, now it's gone"
There are many scenes about eating in the movie, the ramen that Mr. Ozu ate when he first invited Hani to his house. Honey didn't know how to use chopsticks but spoons, so she was in a mess, but the two of them didn't care either. The second time we saw a movie together, Honey thoughtfully prepared a plate of desserts. On the third birthday of Mr. Ozu, Hani refused at first, and after struggling and hesitating, she couldn't stand the beautiful temptation. She happily put on the clothes that Mr. Ozu gave, and went to eat the salmon sushi that Mr. Ozu loved. Here's an interesting snippet:
Honey just changed her hairstyle and changed her clothes. And the people she sees every day don't recognize her. Honey said:
"They didn't recognize me"
"They never met you," said Mr. Ozu.
Yes, love happens the moment the soul is seen.
However, what impressed me the most, and it made me happy to think about it, was the episode in which Honey and Baloma were discussing eating dark chocolate. Put the chocolate on the tip of her tongue and let her melt slowly, Honey demonstrated with a relaxed expression of complete enjoyment, and Baroma followed and tried, with a completely happy and novel expression on her face. Here I seem to see the meeting of two free souls, the souls running out of the stomach and dancing on the tip of the tongue.
